HOT ! Casa Setaro Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil 16.9 fl oz (500 ml)

Casa Setaro Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a single-varietal olive oil made from Coratina olives, a variety traditionally grown in Southern Italy and known for producing structured, flavorful olive oils with good balance between fruitiness, bitterness, and spice. Casa Setaro, better known for their pasta produced near Mount Vesuvius in Campania, applies the same philosophy to their olive oil: small production, high quality, and elegance over intensity.

This olive oil has a golden color and a rich, generous texture. On the nose, it shows aromas of freshly cut grass, green olives, and light herbal notes. On the palate, the oil is balanced and smooth, with a soft bitterness and a clean finish.

One interesting aspect of this olive oil is that the flavor profile can vary slightly by harvest year:

• 2023 harvest: Softer and smoother, with mild bitterness and gentle spice — very good for cooking and everyday use.• 2024 harvest: More peppery and lively, with a stronger spicy finish — better as a finishing oil, for dipping bread, salads, and drizzling over dishes.
